Book two of the Light Series
The saying goes that all men are created equal... but Nicole Abbot knows better. Lacking the supernatural gifts of the Sentients she has known all her life, Nicole has lived with her nose pressed to the glass, withering beneath the guilt of her own inadequacies and the disapproving glare of her father. It's easy to believe that the universe has forgotten all about her, but things are not always as they seem. With the arrival of Christian Wright, a handsome but complex Combatant with a troubled history, Nicole is forced to question everything she has ever believed about herself, proving that sometimes, our most flawed perceptions are those reflected in a mirror.

Hadn’t people been chattering away just a moment earlier? Where had the sound gone? Was I suffering from a freak onset of deafness? Panic! This was bad. This was a nightmare. What kind of expression was I wearing? Was I smiling? Was I gawking like a fish? I couldn’t feel my face but for the intense burning in my cheeks. And why was my throat so dry? Oh, Christ—this was the worst case scenario, wasn’t it? He was the most beautiful man I’d ever laid eyes on, and even in my bewilderment, even as Wendell dragged me—legs trembling—over to meet him, I knew without question that I was completely, royally screwed.
A handfull of survivors wash ashore from a ship wreck in a strange new world. Two centuries later their descendants have populated the Islands they found and are now striving to populate a mainland infested with trolls and dragons. Only some of the
